Okay, I need to generate a comprehensive markdown news digest about "Ethics & Safety" related to AI agents or agentic AI for the week of April 28 to May 6, 2025. The readers are worldwide, so any country-specific info should mention the country. The text needs to be at a 5th grade reading level, split into many paragraphs for easy reading. The output has to be valid JSON with a shortSummary and longSummary, each in specific word ranges and structures.

First, I'll review the provided search results. 

Search result [1] from April 25 talks about the ethical implications and safety challenges of agentic AI, emphasizing transparency and human oversight. It mentions integrating features like video summarization into existing systems. However, the date is before the target week, so maybe it's still relevant as context.

Search result [2] from April 30 discusses foundational trust in agentic AI, data governance, and safety guardrails. This falls within the date range. It's from Dr. Eoghan Casey at Salesforce, highlighting trust as a fundamental pillar. Key points include data security concerns from CIOs and safety guardrails for legal/ethical bounds.

Search result [3] from April 10 is about compliance challenges, mentioning risks like supplier selection in inventory management, customer service promises, and HR screening. Though the date is earlier, the content is relevant to ethics and safety. It also mentions a Canadian airline incident where an AI made problematic promises.

Search result [4] from May 4 covers insurance agents' concerns about agentic AI eroding customer focus. It includes quotes from industry execs in the U.S., like Garrett Droege and Jason Wrather, discussing AI taking over tasks and the need for checks and balances. Country-specific mention here is the U.S. and Canada (from the airline example in [3]).

I need to ensure all cited events are within the week. [2] is April 30, [4] is May 4. [3] is April 10, which is outside, but the Canadian airline example might be from last year (2024), so maybe not relevant unless the article is updated. Wait, [3] says "last year" which would be 2024, but the article is from April 10, 2025. Hmm, maybe a typo. Anyway, the article itself is within the date range if it's April 10, 2025. Wait no, the query is from April 28 to May 6, so April 10 is before. So maybe [3] isn't within the target week. But the user might still want it included since it's part of the provided sources. The user said to use the given search results, regardless of date? The query specifies the week, but the search results provided might include some outside that range. The user's instruction says to use the provided search results, so even if the dates are outside, if the content is relevant, include it but note if it's country-specific.

Wait, the user says "generate a comprehensive markdown news digest about 'Ethics & Safety' for the week from 2025-04-28 to 2025-05-06" but the provided search results include articles from April 25, April 30, April 10, and May 4. So only [2] (April 30) and [4] (May 4) are within the date range. [1] is April 25 (before), [3] is April 10 (before). But the user might still want to include them if they are the only sources provided. However, the query specifies "this weekly update," so maybe only include the ones within the week. But the user provided these sources, so perhaps they expect us to use them even if some are outside the date range. Or maybe the user made a mistake. Since the instructions say to use the provided search results, I'll proceed with all, but check the dates.

Wait, the user's query says "for the week from 2025-04-28 to 2025-05-06". So any sources dated within that period should be included. Let's check:

[1] April 25: outside
[2] April 30: inside
[3] April 10: outside
[4] May 4: inside

So only [2], [4] are within the week. [1] and [3] are outside. But the user provided all four, so maybe they want them considered. However, the query specifies the week, so perhaps only [2] and [4] should be used. But maybe the user included older sources by mistake. Since the instructions say to use the provided search results, but the query specifies the date range, I should focus on the ones within the week. But the user might have included the older ones for context. Hmm, this is a conflict. The user's query says to use the provided search results, but also to focus on the specific week. Since the search results include [2] and [4] within the week, I'll prioritize those. The other sources are outside the date range but might still be relevant if no others are available. However, the user might have intended to include all provided sources. Alternatively, maybe the dates in the search results are correct, and the user wants us to include them even if outside the week. But the query says "this weekly update", so perhaps only within the week. Let's proceed with [2] and [4], and perhaps mention the Canadian example from [3] as a past event but not part of the current week's news.

Wait, but [3] is from April 10, 2025, which is before the target week. The Canadian airline incident is mentioned as happening last year (2024), so it's a past event. However, the article itself is from April 10, which is before the target week. So maybe only [2] and [4] are within the week. Let's confirm:

[2] April 30: within the week (April 28-May 6)
[4] May 4: within the week
[1] April 25: before
[3] April 10: before

So the main sources are [2] and [4]. However, the user might want to include all given sources. But according to the query's date range, only [2] and [4] are valid. However, the user's provided sources include [1] and [3], but they are outside the date range. Since the user provided them, maybe they are to be used, but the query says to focus on the specific week. This is ambiguous. The safe approach is to use the sources within the date range, so [2] and [4], and perhaps include [3] if it's relevant but note that it's from before the week. But the user's instruction says "make sure news are related to AI agents or agentic AI" and "if something is country specific - mention country name."

Looking at [2]: discusses trust in agentic AI, safety guardrails, data governance. Salesforce's approach. No specific country mentioned.

[4]: discusses U.S. insurance agents' concerns, mentions IMA Financial Group (U.S.), Novella (E&S insurance wholesaler, likely U.S.), Grange Insurance (U.S.). So country-specific to the U.S.

[3]: mentions a Canadian airline incident from last year, but the article is from April 10, 2025, which is before the target week. So maybe not include it as it's outside the date range.

So the weekly news would include:

- Salesforce's approach to trust in agentic AI (April 30) [2]
- U.S. insurance agents' concerns about agentic AI (May 4) [4]

Additionally, the article from April 25 ([1]) is before the week, but maybe the user wants it included. However, the query is strict about the date range. Since the user is the one who provided the sources, perhaps they want all used regardless of date. But the query says "this weekly update", so perhaps only the ones within the week. 

Therefore, the shortSummary and longSummary should focus on [2] and [4], citing them as [1] and [2] since in the provided sources, [2] is index 2 and [4] is index 4. Wait, the citations are based on the search result indices provided. The user's search results are numbered [1] to [4]. So when citing, [2] is [2], [4] is [4]. But in the answer, the citations should be numbered based on the search result indices provided, not the order in the summary.

So in the shortSummary and longSummary, when referencing [2] (which is the April 30 article), it's cited as [2], and [4] (May 4) as [4]. The Canadian airline example in [3] is from an older article, so maybe not included unless necessary. However, the query allows including past events if they are part of the news context. But since the article [3] is from April 10, outside the target week, perhaps it's better to exclude it unless it's critical. The user might have included it for context, but the query asks for news from the specific week. 

Therefore, the main news items are:

1. Salesforce's emphasis on trust and safety guardrails in agentic AI (April 30) [2]
2. U.S. insurance agents' concerns about AI eroding customer focus (May 4) [4]

Additionally, the NAVEX article [3] from April 10 discusses compliance challenges, but it's outside the date range. However, if the user's provided sources are to be used regardless, maybe include it but note it's from earlier. But the query is strict about the week. So perhaps exclude [1] and [3].

But the user might have intended all provided sources to be used. Alternatively, maybe the dates in the search results are typos. For example, [3] is from April 10, 2025, which is before the target week. Unless the article was updated during the target week, but the provided date is April 10. So best to stick to the given dates.

Thus, the weekly news digest will include:

- Trust and safety guardrails in agentic AI (Salesforce, [2])
- U.S. insurance agents' concerns about AI taking over tasks (IMA Financial Group, Novella, Grange Insurance, [4])

Now, structuring the summaries.

ShortSummary needs to be 300-500 words, broken into paragraphs with inline citations and bold key phrases. LongSummary is 800-1200 words, more detailed with examples and citations.

For the shortSummary:

Paragraph 1: Introduce the focus on ethics and safety in agentic AI, mention Salesforce's trust-building approach with safety guardrails [2].

Paragraph 2: U.S. insurance agents worry AI might reduce human interaction, citing examples from IMA and Grange Insurance [4].

LongSummary:

Expand each point with more details. For Salesforce's approach, discuss data governance, CIO concerns, safety guardrails. For insurance agents, mention specific companies, quotes from executives, and the need for checks and balances.

Ensure country-specific mentions: U.S. for the insurance part.

Check reading level: 5th grade, so simple sentences, avoid complex terms. Use bold for key phrases like **safety guardrails**, **customer focus**, etc.

Now, format into JSON with proper structure, escaping newlines. The JSON should have "shortSummary" and "longSummary" keys, each with their respective texts. Each paragraph separated by newlines, and citations as [2], [4].

Double-check that all citations are correctly numbered according to the search result indices. For example, the Salesforce article is [2], the insurance one is [4].

Make sure no markdown is used in the JSON, just plain text with **bold** phrases and [n] citations.

Also, ensure the JSON is valid, with proper escaping of quotes and newlines. In JSON, newlines within strings should be represented as \n, and quotes inside the text should be escaped with a backslash.

But the user's instruction says: "escape new line characters (Use actual newlines (U+000A), but escape them correctly for JSON output)." So in JSON, newlines in strings should be represented as \n.

So, for example:

"shortSummary": "First paragraph.\n\nSecond paragraph."

But in JSON, each \n needs to be escaped as \\n? Wait, no. In JSON, a newline is represented as \n, but in the string, it's written as "First paragraph.\n\nSecond paragraph.", with the backslash being part of the JSON syntax. So when generating the JSON, the actual newlines in the text should be represented as \n within the string.

But the user says: "escape new line characters (Use actual newlines (U+000A), but escape them correctly for JSON output)." So perhaps they mean that in the JSON string, newlines should be represented as \n. So in the JSON output, paragraphs are separated by \n\n.

Thus, when writing the JSON, the text should have \n for newlines. For example:

"shortSummary": "This is the first paragraph.\n\nThis is the second paragraph."

But in the actual JSON, that would be written as:

"shortSummary": "This is the first paragraph.\\n\\nThis is the second paragraph."

Wait, no. In JSON, a newline is represented as \n, but in the string, it's just a single backslash. So in the JSON file, it's "First line.\nSecond line." which, when parsed, becomes "First line.<newline>Second line."

But when the user says "escape them correctly for JSON output", it means that in the JSON string, newlines are represented as \n. So in the generated JSON, the text should have \n where newlines are needed.

So, for example, if the shortSummary is:

"Paragraph one.

Paragraph two."

In JSON, it's written as:

"shortSummary": "Paragraph one.\n\nParagraph two."

But in the actual JSON string, the backslash is escaped, so it's "Paragraph one.\\n\\nParagraph two." No, wait, no. In JSON, to represent a newline, you use \n, which in the JSON string is written with a single backslash. So the correct JSON would be:

{
  "shortSummary": "Paragraph one.\n\nParagraph two.",
  ...
}

When this JSON is parsed, the \n becomes actual newline characters.

But when generating the JSON as a string, in the code block, the backslashes must be escaped. So in the code block, it should be written as:

"shortSummary": "Paragraph one.\\n\\nParagraph two.",

But the user's instruction says: "escape new line characters (Use actual newlines (U+000A), but escape them correctly for JSON output)." So perhaps they want literal newline characters in the JSON string, which is not allowed. JSON requires \n for newlines. Therefore, the correct approach is to use \n in the JSON string.

Therefore, in the JSON output, the shortSummary and longSummary should have \n for newlines between paragraphs.

Now, putting it all together.

ShortSummary would have two paragraphs:

1. Salesforce's approach to trust in agentic AI with safety guardrails [2].
2. U.S. insurance agents' concerns about AI reducing human interaction, citing [4].

LongSummary expands each with more details, maybe adding a third paragraph if needed, but based on the sources, only two main points.

Ensure that in the JSON, the newlines are represented as \n, and quotes are escaped if present. Also, check that the citations are [2] and [4], and bold phrases are used appropriately.

Testing the JSON validity, maybe using a validator. Also, ensure the word counts are within the specified ranges.
